- Switch

- IP67, wall-mountable enclosure
- PoE/PoE+ capable on FE downlinks
Overview
The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 Series is Cisco's first ruggedized switching platform built to the fully sealed IP67 standard, extending Cisco IOS and industrial connectivity to work sites that have no room for a cabinet, mounting directly on a wall or machine and terminating every connection through sealed M12 connectors. The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E is the 16-port PoE configuration of that platform, pairing sixteen Fast Ethernet copper downlinks with two Gigabit copper M12 uplinks and shipping with the LAN Base license for Layer 2+ switching, meaning Layer 2 plus IPv4 static routing. Its distinction from the 8-port model is downlink density: it terminates twice as many Fast Ethernet devices in one sealed enclosure, with eight of the sixteen downlinks PoE-capable and four of those PoE+. LAN Base is upgradeable to Enhanced LAN Base for Layer 2 NAT and to IP Lite for IPv4 dynamic routing such as RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and VRF Lite, so the same hardware can grow from a bridged cell into a routed one. Cisco's industrial migration guidance points customers on the end-of-sale IE 2000 IP67 line toward the Catalyst IE3400 Heavy Duty (IP67) switches in the Catalyst IE3x00 rugged family.
Technical Details
The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E is a Layer 2+ managed IP67-sealed industrial Ethernet access switch with 16 Fast Ethernet (10/100) copper downlink ports and 2 Gigabit copper M12 uplinks, running Cisco IOS with the LAN Base license. All ports are line-rate and nonblocking, and the forwarding rate is 6.5 Mpps. Of the 16 downlinks, 8 are PoE-capable and 4 of those support PoE+, powered by the external IP67-rated PWR-IE160W-67-DC 160 W DC-DC supply. LAN Base delivers Layer 2 switching plus IPv4 static routing, which makes the base image Layer 2+; dynamic routing requires the IP Lite upgrade. The chassis is IP67-sealed against dust and water submersion, wall-mountable with no cabinet housing, and operates from -40°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure. It powers industrial devices such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, and ruggedized IP cameras on factory floors and outdoor work sites.
Best For
The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E suits larger industrial cells that aggregate up to sixteen Fast Ethernet devices such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, industrial sensors, and ruggedized IP cameras directly on a wall or machine with no enclosure, with eight of those ports able to power devices over PoE and four of them over PoE+. Its IP67 sealing, M12 connectors, and -40°C to +70°C vented-enclosure operating range make it appropriate for wet, dusty, or vibration-heavy locations such as automotive lines, oil and gas sites, and outdoor transportation infrastructure. The eight PoE-capable ports suit mixed deployments of powered industrial devices; actual device counts depend on each device's power draw and the external PWR-IE160W-67-DC supply.
Not suitable if:
- you need every downlink to deliver PoE, since only eight of the sixteen Fast Ethernet ports are PoE-capable
- you need Layer 3 dynamic routing such as OSPF, EIGRP, or RIP, since the base LAN Base license provides Layer 2 plus IPv4 static routing and dynamic routing requires the IP Lite upgrade
- you need Layer 2 NAT to connect overlapping machine networks, since that requires the Enhanced LAN Base upgrade
- you need fiber or 10G uplinks, since the uplinks are fixed Gigabit copper over M12 with no SFP optics
- you need switch stacking for high availability, since this model does not stack and relies on REP or MRP ring redundancy instead

FAQ
How many PoE ports does the Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E have?
The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E has sixteen Fast Ethernet (10/100) copper downlink ports, eight of which are PoE-capable: four support up to IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and the rest deliver IEEE 802.3af PoE. PoE is not drawn from an internal budget; the switch is powered by the external IP67-rated PWR-IE160W-67-DC DC-DC supply, a sealed 160 W unit that feeds the powered ports, with the 16-port PoE model carrying a 0.2 kVA power rating and a listed power consumption of 137-150 W. Because power is delivered per port by capability rather than from a single shared wattage figure, the number of devices you can run depends on each endpoint's draw. The two Gigabit copper M12 uplink ports do not provide PoE.
What transceivers do the uplinks on the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E use?
The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E has no pluggable SFP optics. On the sealed IP67 chassis the two Gigabit uplinks are fixed copper ports terminated with sealed M12 X-coded connectors, and the sixteen Fast Ethernet downlinks use M12 D-coded copper connectors. There are no SFP or SFP+ cages, so transceiver compatibility does not apply to this model; all connectivity is copper over M12. Cabling is made with the corresponding M12-terminated copper cordsets rather than fiber or pluggable modules.
Can the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E be stacked?
No. The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E does not support switch stacking. High availability on this platform comes from ring-based Layer 2 redundancy instead: Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) rings, together with the dual-power connector, provide fast recovery without stacking. If you need resilient connectivity, deploy the switch in a REP or MRP ring rather than a stack.
What is the difference between the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E and the IE-2000-8T67P-G-E?
Both switches are fully sealed IP67 PoE models in the same family and share the LAN Base license, Cisco IOS, two Gigabit copper M12 uplinks, and the external PWR-IE160W-67-DC power supply. The difference is downlink density and PoE capacity. The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E provides sixteen Fast Ethernet downlinks with eight PoE-capable ports, four of them PoE+, for a total of eighteen ports. The IE-2000-8T67P-G-E provides eight Fast Ethernet downlinks, four of them PoE-capable up to PoE+, for a total of ten ports. Choose the 16-port model where more powered devices terminate in one sealed enclosure and the 8-port model for smaller cells.
What does the LAN Base license include on the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E, and what can it be upgraded to?
The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E ships with the LAN Base license, which provides Layer 2 switching plus IPv4 static routing (making it a Layer 2+ switch), REP and MRP ring resiliency, IEEE 1588v2 PTP, and security features such as 802.1x, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP source guard. Two field upgrades extend it: the Enhanced LAN Base image adds Layer 2 1:1 static NAT (L2NAT), and the IP Lite license adds IPv4 dynamic routing with RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and VRF Lite plus IPv6 static routing and OSPFv3. Full dynamic routing and Layer 2 NAT are not included at the LAN Base level; each requires its respective upgrade.
Does the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E require a subscription to operate?
No. The switch runs on its perpetual LAN Base Cisco IOS image indefinitely. A Cisco DNA Essentials (Cisco Catalyst Center) term subscription, available in 3-, 5-, and 7-year options, is optional management software that adds centralized automation, assurance, and inventory; it is not required to operate the switch. The IE-2000-16T67P-G-E keeps switching on its LAN Base license whether or not that subscription is active, and base operation continues after the term ends.
What are the operating temperature and environmental ratings of the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E?
The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E is IP67-rated per EN60529 for protection against dust and water submersion, and it is wall-mountable and requires no cabinet housing. Its operating temperature depends on the enclosure: -40°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure, -40°C to +60°C in a sealed enclosure, and -34°C to +75°C in a fan- or blower-equipped enclosure (200 LFM or more). The PoE model accepts a DC input of 44-57 VDC for PoE and 50-57 VDC for PoE+. The switch is tested to shock and vibration standards including IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60068-2-27, and EN 61373, making it suitable for factory floors, rolling stock, and outdoor work sites.
Is the Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E end of life?
Yes. Cisco has announced End-of-Sale for the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 IP67 Series. The last date to order the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E through Cisco was July 26, 2024, and Cisco's last date of support is July 31, 2029; support and service remain available until that date. For new deployments, Cisco's industrial migration guidance points to the Catalyst IE3400 Heavy Duty (IP67) switches in the Catalyst IE3x00 rugged series as the successor platform.
What condition is the IE-2000-16T67P-G-E sold in, and what warranty applies?
The Cisco IE 2000 IP67 IE-2000-16T67P-G-E is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy.
